Atmospheric Physics is the study of physical processes in the atmosphere; understanding the climate and the weather, and the physical reasons ____01______ it is as it is and how it might change in the future. My own particular research background is in radiative transfer and ____02______ I mean the transport of electromagnetic radiation through the atmosphere; _____03_____ the Sun’s radiation coming in, getting absorbed and scattered in the air, and the transfer of heat radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface. From a _____04_____ physics perspective there’s an awful lot of things about the atmosphere that we don’t understand, and of course, it’s very classical physics in the ____05______ that it’s looking at fluid dynamics and thermodynamics applied to the natural environment. What motivates us really is to try and explain what we see in the environment, what _____06_____ it and what might change it in the future, both in _____07_____ of local weather but also climate, by _____08_____ I mean larger areas and larger timescales. My background has led me to an interest in how solar radiation _____09_____ in the atmosphere, so ____10______ at how changes in the Sun might affect the climate for the past year.
Gabarito:
affects
Resolução:
A frase What motivates us really is to try and explain what we see in the environment, what ____ it and what might change it in the future pode ser traduzida como o que realmente nos motiva é tentar explicar o que nós vemos na natureza, o que _____ isso e o que pode mudar no futuro. A partir disso, temos:
a) Alternativa incorreta. O que afeiçoa isso não faz sentido no contexto.
b) Alternativa incorreta. O que causa isso até se encaixa no contexto, mas não dá o sentido mais específico ao texto.
c) Alternativa incorreta. O que efetua isso não faz sentido no contexto.
d) Alternativa incorreta. O que afeta isso se encaixa exatamente no contexto, para que se entenda melhor as interferências entre os elementos da natureza.
e) Alternativa incorreta. O que pede isso não faz sentido no contexto.
